86239 L. S. Lowry races past Hartshill (between Nuneaton and Atherstone) with the 1H09 11:50 Euston to Manchester Piccadully service on 9 March 1985. This loco was written off in a collision with some derailed wagons at Rickerscote on 8 March 1996, whilst working the Coventry to Glasgow TPO. In 1985 it was still possible, whilst not actually trespassing, to get some good shots from near track level prior the dreaded palisade fencing being erected at most such vantage points.
